Tips:
-Use Rebar even though its not going to help a lot
-spend more time than you want prepping and leveling
-If more than 2 courses high, install 2x6 corner braces spanning 2 courses to lock each down. Think hypotenuse
-Fill with dirt from your local supply that's intended for raised beds.

I use 2x6's as the sides. Cut them to whatever length works for you. Mine boxes are 2 high and I never used rebar, never had an issue. I lined mine with weed barrier, laid clean cardboard on the bottom and filled with a QUALITY dirt, NOT bagged raised bed soil. That stuff is garbage.

Rebar would have probably been better but I think using construction glue is probably smart... Now that I say it... It seems obvious.... What's wrong with me?
